While Rihanna made a career with her catchy songs, the Fenty Beauty founder is no stranger to fashion too, as she’s always making style statements. Here are eight of the 34-year-old’s most iconic red carpet fashion moments to date.

1. The 2013 Grammys

Rihanna swept the 2013 Grammys by wearing a more simple look than her recent loud ones. Dressed in a beautiful bright-red custom-made chiffon gown from Azzedine Alaïa, the singer-actress graced the carpet in her scarlet gown with a dramatic train. She paired her gorgeous dress with Neil Lane diamonds and rubies valued at a staggering US$2 million in total, per People.

2. The 2015 Met Gala

One of the biggest history-defining dresses ever to be worn to the galas, RiRi’s yellow gown at the 2015 Met Gala became the talk of the town for weeks.

The 2015 Met Gala’s theme was “China: Through the Looking Glass”, and Rihanna made sure she stuck to it by wearing a Chinese-inspired, 25kg (55-pound) and 4.8-metre (16-ft), gigantic yellow train gown made by the famous Chinese designer Guo Pei, states Elle. Although RiRi stunned in her bold and gorgeous dress, she later stated in an interview with Access Hollywood that she was rather nervous to wear the outfit.

She revealed in the interview that she drove past the red carpet three times and was scared to get out of the car because she felt like a “clown” and she was “doing too much”.
